Moon Transits

If the outer planets are likened to the hour hand on a clock, the personal planets are the minutes and the Moon represents the second hand.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 1st House

Your focus now is outward-oriented. You feel the need to express yourself–to manifest your inner world in the outer world in some manner. It’s a good time to focus on new beginnings and fresh starts. At this time, your skin is thin–you are more sensitive to the vibrations and energies around you, particularly in your immediate environment. You are inclined to act on impulse, or to react automatically based on your basic emotional orientation, rather than approaching the world objectively. It’s easy to be emotionally touched by something now, but also to feel hurt or disappointed. In the 2-3 days of this transit, you tend to take things very personally. Some restlessness is likely now, and could impel you to make some small personal changes, such as changing your “look” or your living environment in little ways. You might deal with the public in some manner. You could also be feeling emotional or sensitive about your appearance or manner.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 1st House

The First House is the house of the self, so a New Moon or solar eclipse here is a great time to make a new you. Get a haircut, manicure, or new outfit. Reinvention of the outer self is fruitful with this placement. Make yourself look your best, and it’ll help you feel your best, increasing your stamina, confidence, and overall approach to life. Doing an internal overhaul is good now as well. How you come across and how you express yourself may be things you focus on changing to better reflect the inner you, especially if you’re someone who tends to hide who you are with others. Your energy may be higher, which is good because you’ll likely be quite busy, and you may be more eager about life, especially trying new things. You want to meet new people, have new experiences, and be more courageous and daring. Consequently, it’s a good time to try something that you’ve been a little gun-shy about in the past. You’ll be less likely to shy away and may feel that you can get anything done right now. Being in the spotlight doesn’t seem so uncomfortable now, and you may put yourself out there more, or end up getting more attention for something naturally.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 1st House

A Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the house of the self can force you to evaluate yourself, life, and priorities, and figure out what needs to stay and what needs to be gotten rid of. You may find you need to focus on yourself and on how you can harmoniously blend your own needs with the needs of others. You may desire more attention from others, but don’t be so needy about it. You can get the attention you crave from positive means, and always remember to be respectful of others. Full Moons tend to be more emotional than New Moons, so you may find yourself feeling your emotions more intensely, bringing everything out of you and right to the surface. Depending on how you handle it, that may be a good thing or a bad thing. Try to think through carefully what you’re feeling before losing your cool. Your surroundings may seem off-kilter, but that could just be your perspective being more influenced by your emotional state. Since Full Moons are all about endings, this is also a good time to finish things. Anything that is missing a conclusion or needs a few extra touches can be done now.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 2nd House

Your focus now is on emotional security. How much you have in terms of money and possessions can be an issue now, and tends to impact how you feel about yourself. This is not a time of emotional bravery. Rather, you tend to keep the status quo. You value predictability for the 2-3 days of this transit. You don’t look for new experiences as much as you put effort into managing your life in order to feel solid and secure. Material or tangible things have more importance to you right now. Feeling emotional about your financial position could figure now.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 2nd House

The Second House rules your disposable income, so money matters fall here. A New Moon or solar eclipse in this house could signal a new opportunity or strong desire to increase your income, or, on the flip-side, an opportunity to spend money (and not on every day items). If you have to spend money, make sure it’s on something that is truly necessary and not something that you’ll regret later, and be wary of impulse buying. If it’s something you really do need, then this is an excellent time to buy it, with little chance of buyer’s remorse (so if you’ve got a big purchase you know you have to make, timing it for now could be beneficial). If you’re looking to streamline and get your finances under control, this can be a good time for it. Plan a budget and stick with it! The Second House also rules your self-esteem, so you can see a positive increase in the way you feel about yourself if you choose to work on the personal growth needed to increase your sense of self-worth. You want to be more in touch with your senses, so physical stimulation may be sought now. That stimulation may be felt more intensely, and you may overindulge.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 2nd House

When a Full Moon or lunar eclipse occurs in the Second House, this can affect your finances. You could finish paying something off or finish a financial project, or have a change in earnings. Watch your spending, as you may be more inclined to overdo it, indulging on something that perhaps you don’t need, but makes you feel better in the moment. This house also rules self esteem and values. You could be confronted with your feelings about yourself and evaluate your own worth. How much value you believe you have, materially and intrinsically, and how much more you feel you should have can be issues that are presented. Let others know what you have and what you’ve accomplished in your career, family, or life, but resist the urge to rub it in. Instead, use it to show others the right path the take to get what they want by illustrating the road you took. You may want to clearly define what you own, possess, and have power over, and what is clearly out of your domain. What your needs are seem more important, and you could focus on what exactly it is you need to feel secure, stable, safe, comfortable.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 3rd House

This 2-3 day transit marks one of the busier periods in the lunar month. Activities may be centered around making errands, short trips, phone calls, and other communications. Your mind tends to be restless, easily bored, and in need of stimulation. You could find it hard to focus on any one particular task. Your curiosity is ignited. New friendships or contacts might be made. You might find yourself talking more than usual, perhaps about the past. Emotional communications could figure now.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 3rd House

The Third House rules communications, so with a New Moon or solar eclipse here, you can see an increase in the amount of communications you have with people, whether it’s in person, over the phone, on the computer, or by some other means. Gathering information is easier now, and you can collect and arrange it all neatly. Day-to-day activities can be finished without feeling like they’re tedious and redundant. The only chance you have of feeling boredom now is if there isn’t enough to do, so stay busy, which shouldn’t be too hard now. Making quick decisions is favorable, and dwelling on singular issues may drive you more bonkers. Just decide and move on. Why fret? You may also want to expand your mind and learn something new. Feeding the mind is usually a good way to keep from ever being bored. This house rules siblings as well, so you could spend more time with yours having new interactions, or by restoring the relationship if it hasn’t been where you want it to be. Short distance travel is a part of the Third House, so you could take a day trip, perhaps for a task, or just on a whim. Updating your close environment, most likely through your community, could come about. Volunteer locally, join neighborhood watch, or pick up litter around your block.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 3rd House

With a Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Third House, you could have to deal with a sibling, perhaps ending a spat, reconnecting with them, or elevating the relationship. You may have to deal with something in your community, like finishing a community project, or making a change to improve your close environment. You could also have to deal with communications; you could have a hard time getting your point across or understanding others. People may be coming at you left and right trying to get you to understand something, and it may be overwhelming to you. Unexpected appointments could come up, so make sure you stay flexible, or you might become overworked and exhausted. Life may seem a bit amped up right now, and you’re being pulled in a million different directions. Focus on what needs to be worked on now, and leave everything else for later. It’s okay to let yourself off the hook sometimes. You feelings and your words may be tied together, so if you can get through the tangled web and sort it all out, this is a good time to let others know exactly how you’re feeling and have them really hear you.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 4th House

Your attention turns inward and towards your domestic affairs during this 2-3 day transit. You feel the need for more privacy than usual, and you tend to focus on building or solidifying your home base. You have a greater need for security and the feeling of being safe and comfortable during this period. This is a time for building your sense of security. Family and personal matters take precedence over worldly affairs just now. How you feel about your support system at this stage in your life will determine your mood.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 4th House

The Fourth House is the house of home and family, so a New Moon or solar eclipse in the Fourth House can show you making improvements to your home (and that can be as simple as buying a new throw pillow or as advanced as knocking down a few walls). Cleaning up your home and personal space can make you feel better about everything. Cluttered home, cluttered life, cluttered mind! You may want to spend more time with your family, bonding, renewing relationships (if you haven’t been spending much time with the family), and opening up about your true feelings. Emotions may be deeper and intimacy may be more desirable, along with a stronger group of supporters to help protect you when you’re feeling vulnerable. Be a better supporter of others too. Your intuition can be more developed now as well, so listen to those initial feelings you have about things. The first reaction may very well be the best one right now. It’s a good period to sell your home, buy a house, move, or refinance. You want to keep busy, or you may be kept busy with a flurry of activity. Making and working towards long-term goals is a positive use of the energy.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 4th House

The home and family could be the source of endings with a Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Fourth House. You finish a project with the house, or settle a problem in the family. If you’ve been spending too much time at home or at work, you may desire trying to equal the about of time you spend between the two, and not neglecting either. The realization that there’s no point in a personal life if your professional life is a mess and vice versa could come about now. You may feel the need to detach and spend some time alone, but it’s a better use of energy if you open yourself to others and connect. Taking a break from the home and getting out for a while could be useful. The Fourth House is also a spiritual, karmic house, so a Full Moon or lunar eclipse here could present situations where there is a feeling of destiny or karma. You could be focused on where you’re going in life and how you’ll get there, and whether or not you’re even on the right road to start with. An opportune moment could arise, one that makes you scratch your head and go, “Maybe I need to think this over.”

Transiting Moon in the Natal 5th House

You are likely feeling decidedly more outgoing during this 2-3 day transit than you were feeling while the Moon transited your fourth house. This is an expressive few days—your energies are directed outwards as you feel more confident moving about in the world. You have an emotional need to be heard, seen, and noticed. An increased desire to create, and to display your talents, is often experienced during this phase. Recreation, hobbies, romance, and anything that gives you pleasure is now more important to you than usual. You are feeling especially amorous or at least more inclined to express your loving feelings now. Others tend to tune into you emotionally. You could get a sudden desire to see a movie, explore a creative urge, play a game, or take in a play, for example. Enjoy yourself and indulge your whims, within reason of course.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 5th House

The Fifth House is the house of fun, so you could spend some time going wild at a party, practicing a long-loved hobby, or letting the creative juices flow if a New Moon or solar eclipse falls here. You feel less reclusive and want to get out more. Feeling lonesome isn’t an option! The things that you feel make life fun are what you’re most attracted to now. Creating is positive, so this is an especially good time for those who work to ‘create’ anything, not just the arts. This house also rules romance, so you could have a new date or feel like bringing some romance into your relationship if you’re committed (bubble bath, dinner for two, etc.). If you’ve got your eye on someone, ask them out. If you just want to mingle, mingle. Children are a Fifth House matter, so if you have kids, you may feel inclined to spend more time with them, or they may require your attention for something. You may want to get in touch with your own inner child, feeling more playful and carefree. You can be bolder, feeling better about yourself, and you may require more approval from those around you.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 5th House

The Fifth House is the house of love, romance, and fun. A Full Moon or lunar eclipse here could show the end of a creative venture or hobby project you’ve been working on. You could see the completion of a love affair or heightening of one. If you break up with someone, it most likely will be one of those things that was a long time coming. You may not want to be alone with this placement though, so a quick rebound fling may come about. If you’re in a happy relationship, then this can be a time of bringing it to a new, more exciting, more pleasurable level. Going out and having fun is important now, and you may not feel very inclined to getting anything done that isn’t fun. You’re more enthusiastic, passionate, and spontaneous, so watch what you do carefully if you don’t want to go overboard. Sometimes it’s okay to wake up with a stranger in your bed, but it’s almost never okay to wake up with a goat. Work may be on the backburner, so don’t commit yourself to any big projects, otherwise you’ll be ripping out your hair and teeth and nails trying to get it done, yearning to be out and about and living it up. It’s a good time to let out your inner child and be more carefree.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 6th House

After a somewhat naive and playful few days, while the Moon transited your fifth house, the current 2-3 day phase indicates a need and/or desire to perfect your craft. This is a time of dedication to work, health, and routine. This is a more introverted period when you might have your “nose to the grindstone”, so to speak. You might set your feelings aside in order to take care of details now, or you could be more emotionally sensitive about your work, health, and daily routine. Your senses are more acute and you could find minor aches and pains are now more noticeable. As well, you could find that little things that are out of order in your life become more apparent. Cleaning and re-organizing may be in order now. Your mood is likely to impact your health more than ever. Try not to stress over little things. Instead, work on improving and perfecting the smaller systems in your life so that you can move on without guilt.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 6th House

The Sixth House rules your health, so a New Moon or solar eclipse here could have you more focused on your well being, be it physical fitness or mental stability. It’s a good time to try a new diet or health regimen, but make sure it’s something you can realistically keep up with and not some fad you’ll quit in two weeks. Be careful not to obsess about being healthy – even too much of a good thing is a bad thing! Everything in moderation. Your daily habits may undergo a change, especially in an attempt to restore order if some aspect of life has been out of balance. Keeping things disorganized and cluttered is not tolerated now. You may adopt a new pet or get something new for the one you have. Your work environment is also a 6th house issue, so this is a good time to improve your current one or look for a new one altogether. Just don’t set your sights so high they’re unattainable, and you end up doing something you regret. Sometimes impulsiveness can set in and you can find yourself quitting your job on a whim, and then what are you going to do? Keep in mind that any changes made should be positive and well thought out.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 6th House

A Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Sixth House could show the end of a health problem or habit that you’ve been trying to break. You may decide to make a change with your health suddenly, but you have a better chance of making it if you’ve been planning it for a while and not if you decide on a whim to do it now. You could change your work environment; if dissatisfied with your work life, you’ll probably have a strong desire to quit. Make sure you have a plan in place if you do – being a professional bum doesn’t work out as well as you’d think. On a more positive note, you could finish a work project that you’ve been slaving away at. Your routine may seem more mundane to you than ever, and your desire to make a change may be higher than ever, so if you do make a change, make sure it’s a positive one that you’ll be able to stick with long-term. Don’t be overly emotional and crazed if you can’t make the sudden, overwhelming changes you crave at the moment. Be happy with a little. Bring some order into your life (or some chaos if you’re too neat). The Sixth House rules your pets, so you could also have something come up with them.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 7th House

Close personal and business relationships are highlighted now. How you feel about your close relationships or partnerships will largely determine your mood during these 2-3 days. You might have emotional confrontations now or warm, nurturing relations, again depending on your current circumstances. Sometimes this transit correlates with the need for a consultation, and usually one-on-one relationships figure. An increased need to be with people, to socialize, and to compromise are featured during this transit. More attention to physical appearance and attractiveness, as well as graciousness, could also figure. You are in the position to learn much about yourself by listening to others. The need to create or maintain a harmonious environment dominates now, but getting to that point can entail some conflict! Feeling emotional about your relationships could also figure now.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 7th House

The Seventh House rules all of your relationships, so a New Moon or solar eclipse here highlights your romantic relationships, business relationships, and even your enemies (but with the Seventh House, it’s ‘open’ enemies, the ones you know about, the people who you openly admit you don’t like and are out to get you; the Twelfth House rules ‘hidden’ enemies, the ones we don’t realize are our enemies, because of denial, or because they’re able to hide it so well, or because it’s secretly us). Improving your existing relationships and making them into positive, life-affirming parts of your existence is a good way to use the energy. All good relationships should provide us with something for growth in some way, so ensure that all of yours are doing so. Evaluating your ideas of intimacy and of how you view individuality versus interdependency can come about, especially if you have issues with these ideas. In business, a partner may be helpful in getting what you want accomplished, and you’re better with negotiating and being fair. Your emotions are higher with all your relationships, and if you’re finding yourself going it alone a lot, you’ll be much less comfortable with that now.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 7th House

When a Full Moon or lunar eclipse occurs in the Seventh House of relationships, you may evaluate your relationships and your partner to see if it’s still working right. It’s a good time to walk away, if you choose to, or to bring your relationship to a deeper level. If you’re dealing with people that you view as equal to you, then you may want to stand back a little and let them have the spotlight. Especially in a business situation, if you’ve been working with a partner and things are culminating right now, you’ll want to enjoy the rewards. Singles who have their eye on someone may find that now is the time to jump-start a connection. The feelings you have for them may seem more intense now, and you may find it easier to express your emotions with a partner, in a one-on-one setting. You’ll also be more inclined to be fully interested in their feelings and needs, and you may want to accommodate them however you can. This is a good time to negotiate with others, as you’ll be more able to see compromise that can please you both. The Seventh House also rules ‘open’ enemies, those you know about, so something could come up along those lines as well.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 8th House

There can be a hunger now for deeper experiences and more powerful bonds. Emotional commitments come into focus during the 2-3 days of this transit. You are looking for more meaning in your life, and any activity that stirs your emotions attracts. On a more mundane level, money and possessions could be emotional issues now. Be aware that you could over-react to matters during this transit, finding it hard to detach yourself emotionally in order to look at life objectively. You are not as sociable during this brief trend, preferring to analyze and feel out your life’s circumstances than to put yourself “out there”.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 8th House

The Eighth House rules other people’s money, like debts, taxes, and joint finances. With a New Moon or solar eclipse here, you may have to deal with any of those. It’s a good time to pay off debt or get money that’s owed to you, as well as get a loan or line of credit (just make sure it’s one you need and not for you to splurge). This house also rules transformations, so you may make some sort of transformation of yourself or life; you may not need to necessarily get rid of things, but just tweak them to make them work. Sometimes a total overhaul isn’t necessary, and a small renovation is all that’s needed. If you don’t have to tear things down to get it to work, then don’t. Your sex drive can increase, but casual sex won’t cut it – you’ll need an intense experience. Intensity is accompanied with this position, in all facets of life, because you approach things in a more powerful manner. You look beneath the surface to try and find what’s really there, and if there’s nothing to find, you can be disappointed. You may feel your personality is a bit ‘darker’ during this time if you struggle with who you are internally.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 8th House

With a Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Eighth House, there’s a good chance you’ll have to transform something in your life, and usually something on a deep level. Releasing something that is bogging down your life can allow you to restart your life more positively. Most of us hold onto things that become unhealthy for us after a period of time, not wanting to let it go and allowing it to become like a safety blanket, but now is the time to liberate yourself. The transformation could also be something physical, like renovating a part of your house or restoring something to its former glory. Dealing with intimacy and security may be more of a focus. Issues related to other people’s money could come up, and you may have to use a large chunk of money, perhaps lending some money to a friend or family member, or you may settle an outstanding debt. If you’re in need of a loan or want another credit card, this is a good time to get it, provided it’s what you really need and not just what you want. You may evaluate the things you own that aren’t only yours. More serious topics may be on your mind with this aspect.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 9th House

Freedom on all levels is the focus during this 2-3 day transit — not only physical freedom of movement and expression, but mental and spiritual freedom as well. The emotional need now is expansion and growth. You do not want to be limited by boundaries or barriers. This is a more gregarious placement of the Moon. Independence, new experiences, and intellectual growth are the major focus. You tend to take more trips or embark on adventures–however big or small–during this transit. Emotional boredom or restlessness could be at the root of this. Breaking the routine is in order. This is a good time to catch a break and get some perspective on your life. Feeling emotional about your opinions or beliefs could also figure now.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 9th House

The Ninth House rules expansion of the higher self through higher education and philosophy, so a New Moon or solar eclipse here could have you wanting to expand your mind and life by exploring new cultures, ways of living, and perspectives. The status quo is no longer satisfying you, and you want to do something extraordinary. You feel more adventurous, and want to push the limits of your mind. Your spirituality may undergo a change, as you want to explore your beliefs thoroughly and represent them as much as possible. Long distance travel is a Ninth House matter, so you could have an opportunity to travel far or just have the desire to, or spend time with people from other foreign places or try exotic cuisine. The Ninth House also rules the law, so legal matters can come into play. This isn’t the best time for long-term plans, so don’t commit yourself to something that won’t be over quickly. Also don’t try to do something that requires you to pay close attention to the details; you’re more interested in the broader scope right now. If you’re a writer, this is an especially good time for your craft, and the Ninth House actually rules publishing.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 9th House

If a Full Moon or lunar eclipse occurs in your Ninth House, you could feel more connected with your spirituality. Growing more from a spiritual perspective and realizing how your belief system affects who you are as a person could come about with this placement. If you find it affects you positively, you may explore it even further, dedicating your life even more to it; if you find it affects you negatively, you may scrap it altogether and start fresh. The growth could instead be centered in your mind, and you could finish a program of study or a writing project. Growing mentally often leads to growing personally and you may feel the connection between your mind and spirit much stronger now. If you have a legal dealing, there could be a complication, or it could end, especially if it’s been drawn out. Your view of the world may be something you want to expand, forcing you to open yourself to new ideas and broadening your imagination. You may feel you absolutely have to do this, and in areas where you’re already opening yourself, you’ll see the greatest progress. You may feel more open to having fun, but usually in an adventurous way, or one that allows you to learn something, and less on fun that’s just about being social without a purpose.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 10th House

Your attention now is on approval and recognition. The focus is on establishing some sort of order and control in your life. A stronger need for recognition and for concrete success is typical of this 2-3 day transit. Discontent with your position in life could be magnified now. Matters surrounding your profession or the authority figures in your life come to the foreground. Sensitivity to your reputation or how others view you can figure now. You are noticed for what you do (and don’t do), what you have done (or haven’t done). It’s time to be on your best behavior!

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 10th House

The Tenth House rules your career, life path, and authority figures. A New Moon or solar eclipse here could show career advancement, a change in your life path, or dealing with a superior. Present yourself as best you can at all times because you may find people are watching you more than normal, especially for your work and accomplishments. It’s difficult to keep things hidden at this time, so try to keep things on the straight-and-narrow. If there’s gossip going around about you, ask yourself why. It can be truer than you think during this time. It can be an auspicious period for a raise or promotion, or to start a new career path. You’ll have the energy to do it, and you’ll likely be quite busy with everything you have to get done. Don’t get overwhelmed by how much you have to do, and delegate when needed. Sometimes the energy can be intense, and you can become stressed. When you have many important tasks at hand, stay focused on the most important and keep track as best you can. Long-term professional goals can be formulated now that are more realistic, attainable, and will help get you further in your job and life.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 10th House

Your career and life path could be affected by a Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Tenth House. You may do something that gives you more attention than normal, and has people wanting you and no one else for the job. It’s difficult to hide yourself now, and you probably don’t want to. Promoting yourself may be good for your career, so if you deem it to be, this is the time to put yourself out there and let others know of your accomplishments. You could decide to go in a new direction, sometimes quite suddenly, or be offered something that makes you rethink the path you’re on. Evaluating your commitment to your long-term goals and whether or not your goals with give you the success you want can come up with this placement. Authority figures can be a source of frustration, whether it’s a boss or a parent, and if you’ve been behaving badly, your social status could take a hit. Make sure you’re watching yourself in public so that you don’t offend someone or make yourself look like a fool by accident. Things that have been hanging on far past their due date could have the cord cut now.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 11th House

This is a more sociable and gregarious transit of the Moon. Stronger social awareness and a desire to belong to a group may figure now, although sometimes it’s more about expressing your own individuality and breaking the rules. Networking is the keyword for this 2-3 day period. It’s a good time to spend with friends or groups. However, you are more sensitive to the moods of those around you, and you could be feeling emotional about your sense of belonging (or lack of) with like-minded people.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 11th House

The Eleventh House rules your friendships, so you may spend time with a friend when you have a New Moon or solar eclipse in your Eleventh House. You’ll feel more honest with them and any new acquaintances you make, and this may endear them to you. With your close friends, you may find yourself more emotional than normal, but let it out, because they may be more responsive than you think. Be social, both personally and professionally. Broadening your network of friends and business associates can be prosperous. It’s a good time to join a new organization or group, especially if it’s geared towards helping humanity or the world at large. You may want to help others, but in more of an abstract way, like donating to a cause, rather than one-on-one attention. You may be interested in those far different from you, being more tolerant and open, or at least curious. Exploring your dreams can come into focus, and it can be good to re-evaluate where you want to go in the future. All your hopes and wishes could be of focus, and you may realize some, get rid of some, change some, add some, or commit further to some.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 11th House

The Eleventh House rules your friends, so a Full Moon or lunar eclipse here could bring an end of something you’re working on with a friend, an argument, or cutting ties. You could also elevate the relationship you have with good friends, spending time with one another and enjoying each other’s company. Go out to a small restaurant and talk and laugh for hours. Material things may seem less important right now, with focus going towards your friendly relationships. If you just let go a little, you may find things happening with little effort around you. Let the surrounding energy take care of things for you, even if just for a few hours. You could walk away from a group you belong to or join a new one that you feel better represents what you want to accomplish and has members that are of the same mind in regards to how to better the world and society. Your position in the world and how you fit in could be something you reflect on. Someone may require your help, or you may be surrounded by many more people than you have been in quite some time. You could second guess your dreams for the future, share them with others, or dive deeper into them.

Transiting Moon in the Natal 12th House

Heightened sensitivity and an emotional need to connect with your inner world is dominant during this 2-3 day transit. This is often a more introverted period in the lunar month when the focus is on your dreams and longings, personal creativity, and sensitivity. Time spent alone may be necessary, and some form of emotional retreat is natural. You could be more insecure than usual, and it’s best to hold back on starting new projects for the time being.

Transiting New Moon in the Natal 12th House

The Twelfth House is a house of service, so it’s a good time to volunteer or help someone else with a New Moon or solar eclipse here. This house rules hidden things, so dealings with secrets can occur. Make sure you’re watching what you say carefully, or you might let something slip accidentally. You could do more work behind-the-scenes, feeling like taking a backseat or that things need to remain quiet to get done what must get done. Just make sure you’re being open and honest, and if you’re dealing with someone else, they’re being totally honest too. You may also want to spend some time alone working on yourself, allowing yourself time to replenish the self. Sometimes seclusion is the only way we can repair, getting away from the distractions of life and down to the nitty-gritty. It’s a good time to clear your mind, for all manner of healing, and therapy. Your ability to explore your subconscious is high at this time, and it’s a good idea to use it, since the next New Moon will most likely occur in your First House, which has much more activity, and you’ll have less of a chance to do so.

Transiting Full Moon in the Natal 12th House

A Full Moon or lunar eclipse in the Twelfth House can force you to deal with subconscious problems. It’s a good time for therapy. You may be tempted to suppress your emotions, but that could just lead to more problems or a breakdown. Things that you keep hidden deep inside of you could bubble to the surface. Allowing yourself to get in touch with your internal issues can be good, and during this time you may find you’re better able to deal with them and heal. Being alone may be the best thing for you to do at this time, reflecting, digging deep, and recharging. You don’t feel much like being in the spotlight anyhow, and want to stay in the background. You may seem more docile as well, not feeling much like getting into it with people right now. Get plenty of sleep, and watch those dreams. They may be even more lucid, acting out everything that you’re experiencing but can’t voice. Just don’t confuse dream with reality too much; they’re not literal, but figurative representations of our emotions. If they’re a lot of bad or weird stuff, you’re stressing too much and need to relax. Helping others can make you feel better, especially in situations where you’re dealing with them directly.

You could experience an improvement in your family affairs or domestic circumstances, as well as your business pursuits.

Transiting Moon square the Natal Sun

Perhaps a sense of challenge or blockage just now. You may not find the support you flowing to you. Some sort of temporary obstacle may appear. You may feel frustrated.

You may become aware of a conflict between what you want and what you need. Even if you are not aware of this inner imbalance, it could cause some tensions or feelings of being unsupported by others or by circumstances in your life. This can cause you to be provocative with others, or it can spur you into finding answers to problems–the choice is yours! You may feel slightly out of step or out of synch, which could make you edgy. There could be a noticeable discrepancy between the demands of your personal life and what is expected of you at work. Minor problems in relationships are more likely during this transit. Arriving at decisions is harder now because you feel torn between choices.

Honor your feelings, reach into your well, and pull out the feelings that support your larger goals. Familiarity, a sense of belonging, and emotional connections fuel your spirit now more than usual. You are more sensitive and responsive than you are typically. Relationships with significant women in your life may be especially prominent now.

You may be feeling stressed or unsupported, which can negatively influence your health. Feeling emotionally at odds with others will pass soon enough. For now, avoid taking little upsets to heart.

Your reactions are presently strongly emotional, and it is easy for events or for people to trigger resentments or buried emotions.

Hold off on making business decisions or embarking on new projects on the domestic front.

Others may cut you off or make it difficult for you to express yourself today. You could find that you lack depth and feeling and the ability to move or communicate with others. Your ideas may not find the support you need.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. What feels right clashes with logic right now. What you say may be a misrepresentation of your true feelings and emotions. Car and other transportation troubles, as well as computer glitches, miscommunications, and dealing with red tape, are more likely now than usual. You could encounter delays in business, and there might be some minor troubles with younger people or siblings. It takes extra effort for you to understand others, or they to understand you. You’re less likely to be objective and prone to changing your mind frequently, so it would be better to postpone important decision-making. Although you are in the mood to talk about personal matters, you could be communicating with an air of defensiveness. Avoid getting stressed out over the little things.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Mercury

Your head and your heart agree with one another now, so take advantage and open up the lines of communication with others. You are in a more sociable frame of mind.

Minor disagreements, especially over domestic matters, are more likely than usual now. You may be talkative, but not necessarily saying much! Little disturbances coming from the outside are likely more a reflection of your own nervousness and sensitivity to the emotional “weather” around you. It can be hard to stick to the facts and to remain clear-headed under this influence, so do what you can to avoid scheduling negotiations, test-taking, or contract-signing now. Also, because you are not received as well, public relations initiatives should be postponed. This is a time when things like the car breaking down, missing the bus, lost emails, and other minor mishaps involving getting from point A to point B and communicating effectively occur.

Venus is also creative, so you may see an increase in creativity. Money matters are Venus-ruled, so you may spend on something for yourself.

This sometimes indicates the beginning of a friendship, particularly with someone who expands your mind or your social circle.

Transiting Moon square Natal Jupiter

A time when you could make some wrong choices, in particular as they affect your living situation. You might feel cut off from your friends or be unable to make good decisions. An urge for social life that can quickly turn from good times to hard times.

You may be feeling less hopeful or optimistic during this brief transit. On the contrary, you could be feeling over-confident or enthusiastic to the point of over-excitement and potential letdown. The bottom line is that you are not especially realistic due to moodiness. Minor annoyances, such as unexpected bills coming your way or arguments with others over personal philosophies, may be part of the picture. This is not an ideal time for publicity, promotion, or legal matters. You are more sensitive to injustices (or perceived injustices), but you should avoid behavior that is self-righteous or haughty. Don’t get your knickers in a knot over simple differences of opinion. Self-indulgence is more likely now. You’re not as inclined to consider the consequences of over-eating, over-drinking, or overdoing in general.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Jupiter

A great time to be with others and to work together. You may be sought after as just the person for a particular job. Your management and directional abilities are in high focus.

Positive thinking. Happy feelings, the desire to “do good” and to honor your inner code, and faithfulness are characteristics of this period. Your positive state of mind can attract others, as well as favorable circumstances, to you. It’s a better time of the month to buy a lottery ticket or to engage in reasonable speculation. You are more tuned in to the “big picture” and less inclined to worry over details. Others might find you particularly wise right now, and you are more generous with your time, energy, and money.

Transiting Moon opposite Natal Jupiter

Not perhaps the best time to make important decisions that affect your living situation or life circumstances. Others may challenge your authority or the direction you are taking. Events could conspire to make it difficult for you to act.

Living beyond your means. You’re given to excesses just now, and it can be hard to think of the consequences of overdoing things when you’re in such an elevated mood. This is a “borrow from the future” energy. Try not to commit yourself to something that you don’t have the resources for. If you can, hold off on publicity or promotion activities. Don’t let differences of opinion get the best of you. Otherwise, this is a sociable and mostly pleasurable transit.

Transiting New Moon to Natal Saturn

Saturn rules your discipline and maturity, so a positive aspect can help with those. You may find it easier to be responsible and do the right thing. Your career can be positively impacted, with a possibility for advancement and new opportunities. Saturn also rules those older than you, especially authority figures, so you should have an easier time dealing with them. A difficult aspect can show career lag or lack of desire to continue on your career path. You could be repressed, lack self-discipline, and have feelings/expressions of immaturity. You may resent your responsibilities and refuse to deal with them. Also make sure to check the house Saturn rules (the house with the sign Capricorn on the cusp).

Transiting Full Moon to Natal Saturn

With a positive aspect to Saturn, you could finish something you’ve been largely responsible for. Any really large projects that you’ve been spear-heading could end now. You may be overly cautious (probably caught saying, ‘better to be safe than sorry!’). A difficult aspect can make you feel overwhelmed, which can make it difficult to get anything done that you have to. You can feel alone and may isolate yourself. You could also feel taken for granted, or used and abused. If you do, ask yourself why, because there may be a reason for it that you have to address. Also make sure to check the house Saturn rules (the house with the sign Capricorn on the cusp).

Transiting Moon conjunct Natal Saturn

A good time to consolidate and organize your affairs or rearrange your living situation. You could be seen by others as just the person to be put in charge of some project requiring a conservative mind. A tendency towards isolation and starkness.

Situations that require you to keep a cool head will work out well under this transit. You are not easily swept away by your feelings now, enabling you to effectively tend to business. Authority figures or people who are older than you could figure prominently now. A heightened awareness of your responsibilities, or taking on new responsibilities, characterizes this influence. It’s easier for you to buckle down and work, organize, and plan. What you output now will benefit you down the road, as it’s likely to be solid and realistic. This is a good time to make plans and lists. Some of us feel lonely or unsupported under the influence of this transit. Others welcome the feeling of self-reliance that comes now. A domestic problem or a burden might drop into your lap now, but you are likely to handle it well.

Transiting Moon sextile Natal Saturn

You may find yourself being put to good use by your friends, or it could be that circumstances force you to reorganize and be more conservative. All of this should go rather smoothly. Your more taciturn qualities are to the fore and found to be valuable.

Although there isn’t much in the way of instant gratification for the work you do now, you will see real benefits from your efforts down the road. Connections with older people or authority figures can be made and are generally positive now. Because you are not easily swept away by your feelings at this time, you can take advantage by making clear-headed and realistic decisions. You are more reliable than usual, and more willing to go it alone. Others might find you a little distant emotionally, but they also view you as responsible and competent.

Transiting Moon square Natal Saturn

You may feel left out or passed over just now. Your own requirements may appear to limit and separate you from where the rest of the gang is headed. A sense of isolation and loneliness is not unusual. This is of short duration.

You may need to work overtime, or you could feel a pinch with your finances. Some feelings of being blocked are possible now with Saturn, the great teacher, activated and urging you to slow down. There may be problems with older people or authority figures. The rewards for your hard work are unlikely to be obvious right now. Domestic affairs may be a little messy. A feeling of being unsupported, alone, or too independent might grab hold of you for the time being. Expressing your feelings or your need for others is hard to do at the moment. Treat this period as a time when you are learning to rely on yourself.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Saturn

New responsibilities may come your way now, or there can be a heightened awareness of existing ones. It’s relatively easy to discipline yourself and work hard now. The work you do now will have real benefits down the road, although it may not be immediately obvious. Others would be hard-pressed to sweep you off your feet or sway you from your path right now! Appeals to your emotions won’t work as much as appeals to your common sense, logic, and sense of responsibility.

Transiting Moon quincunx Natal Saturn

Transiting Moon opposite Natal Saturn

You might like to ignore responsibilities and do some socializing, but realities may demand that you tend to business and forget your friends for the moment. The crowd may ignore you and leave you (old sober-sides) to take care of business.

Feeling blocked from expressing yourself makes for a less than spontaneous period. Avoid clashes with authority figures or older people–you simply aren’t getting the recognition you deserve right now, but this influence will pass soon. Saturn often brings with it some blockage, hardship, or restriction. Your plans may hit a snag or two, or they simply don’t materialize as expected. You could feel misunderstood, your efforts could remain unrewarded, or you are not as physically energetic as usual, for example. You could also view situations (or people) with some mistrust for the time being. Because you may temporarily feel down or drained, this period is best used for rest.

Transiting New Moon to Natal Uranus

Uranus rules the unexpected, so with a positive aspect you could see an unexpected change out of nowhere. With a positive aspect, it’ll usually be a good, helpful change you can handle; with a difficult aspect, it’ll usually be more in the realm of unexpected challenges hindering what you think you want. It’s important to be flexible with any Uranus aspect, because whatever happens will likely be something you don’t and can’t expect. Whether it’s positive or difficult change, it’s usually necessary to help you move forward in whatever area of your life it occurs. Also make sure to check the house Uranus rules (the house with the sign Aquarius on the cusp).

Transiting Full Moon to Natal Uranus

Uranus likes the unexpected and new, so with a positive aspect, you’ll rebel against structure and the norm, attracted to the unusual ways of doing things. You want to push the envelope, and can’t settle for the status quo right now. You might do something on a whim. With a difficult aspect, you may find things suddenly ending that throw you off balance. It tends to be things that haven’t been serving a good purpose for you, and must be eliminated from your life in order to make room for new, positive growth. Also make sure to check the house Uranus rules (the house with the sign Aquarius on the cusp).

Transiting Moon conjunct Natal Uranus

Others may find you especially witty and eccentric just now. You may have insights or breakthroughs in regard to your living situation or life circumstances. Others value you for your independence and unique qualities.

Expect the unexpected! Your desire for change is stimulated now. This is a period when you may act on a whim, or you could encounter something surprising. Nobody can force you to do anything just now–you are only in the mood to do things voluntarily. You are quick-witted, inventive, and your moods may be contradictory. New friendships sometimes form under this transit. You are more spontaneous, ready to embrace the new and untried and to break the routine. Opportunities could seemingly come from out of the blue. You could, for example, have a chance meeting with someone or an experience that is a little loopy. A change of pace is likely. Experimentation and improvisation are what work best. Allow for many possibilities, put few restrictions on projects, keep your options open, and expect the unexpected.

Transiting Moon sextile Natal Uranus

Everything conspires to value and bring out your more unique and unusual qualities. You may find that someone close to you understands and is supportive of your eccentricities. You could come up with new solutions or inventions.

Breaking the routine is something that would please you now. This transit sometimes indicates a pleasant surprise, a chance meeting with an old acquaintance, an invitation, or some other interesting event that enlivens your day. Experimenting with something altogether-new is favored now. Others appreciate your unique or quirky qualities. Although patience is not your strong point now, your openness to the unexplored serves to cut boredom.

Transiting Moon square Natal Uranus

You may find yourself at odds with others regarding matters of convention. You may be going against tradition and being too independent for group approval. You could get carried away under this kind of pressure and make mistakes you may regret.

Departure from the norm. Some sudden, although likely minor, changes are in store. Family or friends may be erratic, hard to pin down, or simply absent when you need them. Your own mood may be rebellious or standoffish. Plans may change direction unexpectedly. Part of you is itching for change, and this could be the reason why you are more likely to attract unusual circumstances now.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Uranus

You may be the recipient of good news regarding family or domestic affairs. Unexpected visitors, unexpected visiting, or chance meetings are possible now. You are more inclined to take emotional risks than usual, although you are also unlikely to go over the top. This transit awakens your mind, enabling you to respond to a higher state of awareness. Intuition is at a high, and you are open to progress and improvement. You are magnetically attractive to others, and they recognize and accept your unique traits.

Transiting Moon quincunx Natal Uranus

Transiting Moon opposite Natal Uranus

Others could challenge your nonconforming attitude in some situation which results in opposition and blockage. Not perhaps a good time for you to try out new things or break away from the old routine. Your own surroundings work against you in this.

Something that jars you out of your routine is possible now, such as a confrontation, unexpected change of plans, or acting on a whim. Keep your options open because your schedule is unlikely to materialize. Projects begun during this transit are likely to change in unexpected ways. Whether you treat unexpected changes as a disruption or as a welcome breath of fresh air will determine your mood. Some domestic upsets and upheavals are possible. You could be searching for a loophole or a way out of emotional responsibilities, and you are certainly not in a compromising mood. Sometimes this correlates to problems with electrical appliances, or weather that interrupts plans.

Transiting New Moon to Natal Neptune

Neptune rules the subconscious, so a positive aspect can increase your fantasies because your imagination will be heightened. It can make your dreams more lucid and important, so pay attention to them. You can become more intuitive, or aware of your surroundings and the subtle changes in people, so you’ll be more sensitive and hyper aware. A difficult aspect can turn your subconscious against you, and make you more scared, paranoid, insecure, and vulnerable to others. It’s important to remember that sometimes it’s all in your head. Go through each of your fears one by one and assess which are real and which are illusions. Also make sure to check the house Neptune rules (the house with the sign Pisces on the cusp).

Transiting Full Moon to Natal Neptune

Neptune rules your subconscious mind, so any aspect triggers it. A positive one can heighten your creativity, especially good for those in music (since Neptune rules music). You can become hyperaware of subtle energies, which can make your intuition much better, and your empathy for others heightened. You may seem more captivating to people, and they may find you to be incredibly alluring and enigmatic. A difficult aspect can make you paranoid and panicky, so you have to make sure you’re staying rooted in reality. You can have more nightmares, and may indulge in self-destructive escapism, especially if you already have that tendency. Also make sure to check the house Neptune rules (the house with the sign Pisces on the cusp).

Transiting Moon conjunct Natal Neptune

You may be able to bring a group together with words or ideas that transport others. Poetry and art may be possible now. Your whole world may seem trancelike or dreamy. Movies, books, and all forms of escape could prove very enjoyable.

Others would be hard-pressed to pin you down to something concrete or formal right now. Your feelings are boundless, you are easily touched, and you are enthusiastic, perhaps exaggeratedly so. However, you are more easily led astray and prone to disappointments. You are easily seduced, swayed, and in extreme cases, even cheated. You could also be the one who is deceiving or seducing! You may enjoy a reward for your past efforts. This is the time when you could have a deja vu, a eureka of sorts, or a time when you “just know” things without relying upon rationale or logic. You attract attention in a quiet way now. Note that you may demonstrate impracticality when handling business and domestic affairs. It’s better not to work against the cosmos by attempting to make something official just now.

Transiting Moon sextile Natal Neptune

Everything conspires to reveal you at your most elegant, particularly in social situations. You will have a grasp for abstract and spiritual ideas and the ability to present or communicate these to others.

You are more compassionate, giving, and charitable under this transit. It’s a strong influence for the arts, especially photography, music, drama, poetry, and any artistic field that appeals strongly to the emotions. You might take a trip down memory lane–a pleasant, and perhaps wistful, one! You are more intuitive and even psychic right now. If this transit occurs while you sleep, your dreams may be especially insightful or even prophetic. You are inclined to daydream and to make wishes. You might enjoy some kind of reward for your past efforts.

Transiting Moon square Natal Neptune

You may find yourself unrealistic, in a dreamy mood and at odds with your more pragmatic duties. Friends may not appreciate or go along with your dreamy side just now. You may not be able to lose yourself in your imaginings.

Issues from your past may come back to haunt you, or you may simply remember things that temporarily undermine your happiness. This transit’s effects range from some feelings of wistfulness or confusion to emotional chaos. Avoid money transactions or new business initiatives if you can, just for the time being, as you are unlikely seeing the whole picture. You may feel you have been deceived or misled, but self-deception is the more likely scenario. You are hitting a detour now from the middle road. In some cases, this represents suffering from confusion, gossip, or backbiting. The desire to escape is strong now.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Neptune

Although this influence is subtle, you are likely a little more charming, compassionate, and easily touched now. You are more vulnerable than usual, and open to outside influences. You could be taking a detour away from your routine–or you could be longing for a break now. Your imagination is enhanced, and your sympathy for others is strong. You can more confidently rely on your intuition under this influence.

Others may not appreciate your more dreamy and other-worldly qualities just now. Your image and ideals could be challenged by another who sees you as impractical and not down-to-earth. You may be caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

You are more open to outside influences and energies right now, but this could leave you quite vulnerable to being led astray. The desire to escape the daily routine is strong now. You could be feeling quite sleepy or lacking in willpower with this transit in effect. Be aware that you could inspire some confusion in others, and you might even have to deal with disappointments, deceptions, gossip, or backbiting. This is a less than ideal time to handle business and domestic affairs, so if you can, put these off. Impracticality is what this transit is about, so it’s best used for reflection, rest, and creative inspiration.

Transiting New Moon to Natal Pluto

Pluto rules power, so with a positive aspect you may feel more powerful, courageous, and daring, and try to do things to gain more power and control in life. Your focus may be more honed on your goals. You can be quite stealth in trying to achieve what you set your mind to. With a difficult aspect, you may experience power struggles, dealings with people who want to control you, or you try to control other people. You can become obsessed over something, anything. A good way to deal with Pluto is to try and transform some aspect of yourself in need of it. Pluto loves to rehabilitate things, so doing that can make even a difficult aspect very positive. Also make sure to check the house Pluto rules (the house with the sign Scorpio on the cusp).

Transiting Full Moon to Natal Pluto

Power and control is Pluto’s domain, so a positive aspect can increase personal power over the self and force you to bring out your past. Confronting old fears and hidden issues can bring about enormous personal power over the self, allowing you to have better control over yourself. You can be more magnetic, and people may find themselves attracted to your air of mystery. A difficult aspect can show a breakdown if you haven’t been working on yourself. You can experience a total loss of self discipline and control, making your behavior erratic. A feeling of old haunts coming back for you could come up. Also make sure to check the house Pluto rules (the house with the sign Scorpio on the cusp).

Transiting Moon conjunct Natal Pluto

Deep and penetrating analysis, particularly with a group or in relation to your situation, may be in order. Others could seek you out for your psychological insight and understanding. This could be a time to make changes in your environment.

You are more given to emotional extremes, and you have an “all or nothing” attitude. Emotional entanglements are possible now, although many of these could only be happening inside of you. Avoid an “if you are not for me, you’re against me” attitude. You could be driven now to alter your home environment, your relationships, or your business. It’s a good time to quit a bad habit, as this transit supplies you with more guts than usual. If this transit occurs when other hard aspects also are in effect, you could become entangled in some form of power struggle.

Transiting Moon sextile Natal Pluto

You may be sought after for your advice and counsel regarding very personal and emotional issues. You will be able to be understanding and handle this very volatile material. You are able to cut through the red tape and get at what is beneath and behind.

The ability to keep your emotions on the inside today may be a strategy that turns out to be most successful. This is a good influence for business, obtaining loans, taxes, and joint finances. Your sex life or creative impulses can get a boost. Events occurring now might involve some kind of karmic repayment or benefit. You are more able to influence others, and you are personally popular in an understated, quiet way. You might find a lost item, find a new use for an old item (or even person), or discover connections to your past that help you today.

Transiting Moon square Natal Pluto

You may find yourself at odds with those around you or with your life situation regarding issues of great sensitivity -- very personal. Difficulties, blocks, and all manner of hot spots may be discovered and have to be worked through.

If you can, avoid getting yourself entangled in messy, emotional struggles, as these are more likely to occur now than usual. You might get yourself into a disagreement about finances. Changes may occur now, but they are more likely to be internal changes. Sometimes this energy relates to dealing with endings, crises, or other transformations in your personal life. Negative potentials of this transit are beating a dead horse, wasted energies on obsessions, trying too hard to find the “truth”, and suspecting a hidden agenda. Others might hold you at arm’s length right now, or treat you with some suspicion. They could be displaying bouts of jealousy or holding something over your head. Intensity characterizes your relationships for the time being. Avoid mind games, and those who are playing them.

Transiting Moon trine Natal Pluto

This is a great period for getting organized, downsizing, or otherwise improving your home environment. Starting a new fitness routine, kicking a bad habit, or anything that requires willpower is more likely to enjoy success. You have a new, intense, emotional outlook on life with the urge to get things done and to make a fresh start if necessary. Your attitude is that the old must now make way for the new. In some cases, a financial break comes now, a lost item is found, or a new insight into a nagging problem grabs hold of you now. It’s easier for you to employ strategy, and you tend to read between the lines rather than accept life at face value. This is a time to engage in some sort of transformation in which you weed out the bad in order to more effectively use the good.

Transiting Moon quincunx Natal Pluto

Someone could challenge you on a very sensitive issue, resulting in an argument or, at the least, a very intense discussion. You may touch upon very emotional parts of you and find yourself analyzing.

An issue from the past may come up to haunt you now, or you could lose something. This is a time when that which is hidden has a tendency to surface. Someone close to you might be dredging up the past. Intensity in your personal relationships and/or some sort of inner emotional turmoil is possible. This is a time of emotional entanglements. You could have some difficulty in letting go of something, or could be dealing with people who are likewise struggling. Sexual tensions are also possible now. Avoid confrontations and mind games.
